| 11033866518 | Chondroblasts | cartilage forming cells |  | 0 |
| 11033883170 | Chondrocytes | mature cartilage cells |  | 1 |
| 11033889028 | hyaline cartilage | Most common type of cartilage; it is found on the ends of long bones, ribs, and nose |  | 2 |
| 11033893021 | elastic cartilage | Similar to hyaline cartilage, but contains elastic fibers External ear and epiglottis |  | 3 |
| 11033920765 | osteoclasts | bone cells that break down bone |  | 4 |
| 11033961153 | Fibrocartilage | cartilage that contains fibrous bundles of collagen, such as that of the intervertebral disks in the spinal cord. |  | 5 |
| 11033982701 | osseous tissue | bone tissue |  | 6 |
| 11033999946 | Osteoblasts | bone forming cells |  | 7 |
| 11034008023 | Osteocytes | mature bone cells found in lacunae |  | 8 |
| 11034048232 | areolar loose connective tissue | Binds skin to underlying organs; Forms delicate, thin layers between muscles; Fills in spaces underneath epithelia; |  | 9 |
| 11034058875 | adipose connective tissue | provides insulation for the body |  | 10 |
| 11034133844 | dense conective tissue elastic |  | 11 | |
| 11034146372 | connective tissue blood | red and white blood cells in a fluid matrix (plasma) | 12 | |
| 11034165654 | skeletal muscle | A muscle that is attached to the bones of the skeleton and provides the force that moves the bones. |  | 13 |
| 11034173553 | cardiac muscle | Involuntary muscle tissue found only in the heart. |  | 14 |
| 11034177541 | smooth muscle | muscle tissue in which the contractile fibrils are not highly ordered, occurring in the gut and other internal organs and not under voluntary control. |  | 15 |
| 11034188565 | nervous tissue | A body tissue that carries electrical messages back and forth between the brain and every other part of the body. |  | 16 |
| 11034296848 | simple squamous epithelium | single layer of flat cells, lines the blood vessels, heart, alveoli, lymphatic vessels |  | 17 |
| 11034330979 | simple cuboidal epithelium | single layer of cube shaped cells, secretion and absorption, kidney tubules, ovary surfaces. |  | 18 |
| 11034348982 | simple columnar epithelium | Function: Absorption; secretion of mucus, enzymes, and other substances; ciliated type propels mucus (or reproductive cells) by ciliated action. Location: nonciliated type lines most of the digestive tract (stomach to anal canal), gallbladder and excretory ducts of some glands; ciliated variety lines small bronchi, uterine tubes, and some regions of the uterus. |  | 19 |
| 11034368642 | pseudostratified columnar epithelium | tissue that consists of a single layer of irregularly shaped and sized cells that give the appearance of multiple layers; found in ducts of certain glands and the upper respiratory tract, ciliated |  | 20 |
| 11034402221 | stratified squamous epithelium | Function: protects underlying tissues in areas subject to abrasion Location: nonkeratinized type forms the moist lining of the esophagus, mouth, and vagina; keratinized type forms the epidermis of the skin, a dry membrane. |  | 21 |
| 11034410959 | transitional epithelium | function: stretches readily and permits distension of urinary organ by contained urine Location: lines the ureters, urinary bladder, and part of the urethra |  | 22 |
| 11035362384 | loose conective tissue, reticular | important in lymph system and houses lymphocytes |  | 23 |
